Octahedral cupola
In 4-dimensional geometry, the octahedral cupola is a 4-polytope bounded by one octahedron and a parallel rhombicuboctahedron, connected by 20 triangular prisms, and 6 square pyramids.[1]

The octahedral cupola can be sliced off from a runcinated 24-cell, on a hyperplane parallel to an octahedral cell. The cupola can be seen in a B2 and B3 Coxeter plane orthogonal projection of the runcinated 24-cell:

gollark: I assume your alts within it have already found out about this.
gollark: Esoserver currently operates a #suggestions channel into which, presumably, suggestions go and are discussed a bit. This seems to work okay without enforcing a particular style of discussion, although most bulk metadiscussion just goes in <#348702212110680064>. We haven't really had any large-scale debates happening, so who knows.
gollark: Which is still more annoying for the writer. So I'm not sure why you would expect people to interpret it as an amazing gift.
gollark: People have different preferences on communication.
gollark: "It has no flaws, since it doesn't have flaws"?
